Due to their high efficiency, switching voltage stabilizers have recently become more widespread, although they are usually more complicated than traditional ones and contain a larger number of elements. However, if you do not impose excessive requirements on the stability and ripple of the output voltage, then their circuit can be greatly simplified. So, for example, a stabilizer with an output voltage lower than the input voltage can be assembled on only three transistors (see figure), two of which (VT1, VT2) form a key regulatory element, and the third (VT3) is an error signal amplifier.

Switching voltage stabilizer

The device operates in self-oscillating mode. The positive feedback voltage from the collector of the transistor VT2 (it is composite) through the capacitor C2 enters the base circuit of the transistor VT1. Transistor VT2 periodically opens up to saturation with current flowing through resistor R2. Since the base current transfer coefficient of this transistor is very large, it saturates at a relatively small base current. This allows you to choose the resistance of the resistor R2 rather large and, therefore, increase the transfer coefficient of the regulating element. The voltage between the collector and emitter of a saturated transistor VT1 is less than the opening voltage of the transistor VT2 (in a composite transistor, as you know, two p-n junctions are connected in series between the base and emitter codes), therefore, when the transistor VT1 is open. VT2 is securely closed.

The element of comparison and the amplifier of the error signal is a cascade on the transistor VT3. Its emitter is connected to a reference voltage source - a zener diode VD2. and the base - to the output voltage divider R5-R7.

In switching stabilizers, the control element operates in the key mode, therefore, the output voltage is regulated by changing the duty cycle of the key. In the device under consideration, transistor VT2 controls the opening and closing of the transistor VT3 according to the signal of the transistor VT1. At the moments when the transistor VT2 is open, in the inductor L1, due to the flow of load current, electromagnetic energy is stored. After closing the transistor, the stored energy through the diode VD1 is given to the load. The output voltage ripple of the stabilizer is smoothed out by the L1C4 filter.

Despite its simplicity, the stabilizer has a fairly high efficiency. Thus, at an input voltage of 24 V, an output voltage of 15 V, and a load current of 1 A, the measured efficiency was 84%.

The inductor 1.1 is wound on a K26X16X12 ring made of ferrite with a magnetic permeability of 100 wire with a diameter of 0.63 mm and contains 100 turns. The inductance of the inductor at a bias current of 1A is about 1 mH. The characteristics of the stabilizer are largely determined by the parameters of the VT2 transistor and the VDI diode. speed of which should be as high as possible.

Note. In the stabilizer, you can use domestic transistors KT825G (VT2), KT313B, KT3107B (VT1), KT315B, KT3102V (VT3), a KD213 diode (VD1) and a KS168A (VD2) zener diode.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Flame retardant bioplastic from unicellular algae 21.07.2023

Scientists from the US have presented a new type of bioplastic, which is derived from blue-green cells of cyanobacteria, better known as spirulina.

Spirulina, which is a type of blue-green algae, is rich in vitamins and minerals. It is commonly used as a health supplement. Now researchers have applied spirulina to create a new kind of bioplastic that can decompose in a compost pit in the same amount of time as a banana peel.

Bioplastic is entirely made from powdered biomass of cyanobacteria. Using heat and pressure, similar to the process of creating conventional plastics, specialists formed various shapes from spirulina powder.

The choice of spirulina is due to its ability to be cultivated on a large scale, as well as the fact that cyanobacteria cells absorb carbon dioxide during growth. This makes spirulina carbon-neutral and potentially carbon-rich. In addition, it has fire retardant properties.

"One of the main benefits of spirulina bioplastic is its ability to extinguish fire instantly, unlike many traditional plastics that can burn or melt," explains Harish Iyer, lead author of the study.
